I'll be getting into King's Cross at just after midday on the Friday, if I'm lucky. To those who'll be in London the day before... Any chance of meeting up at some point? I know some of us are staying in the same hotel, but is there any chance of us meeting up before bed-time?

I know some of us are staying in the same hotel, but is there any chance of us meeting up before bed-time? I'll be getting into Euston at 12:23, then jumping on the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus, then the Central Line to Shepherd's Bush. Looking at the map, do you wanna meet at Shepherd's Bush station (like, at a McDonalds or something), drop the bags, and have a wander? There's a cinema and resturants nearby so there should be plenty to do food wise.

Tracy Yardley fans, take note: About 80 of these line art pieces will be up for grabs, but expect them to be reserved in the opening 30 minutes. I'm gonna be spending a lot of money this weekend!

Safe trip.
I'm staying in North london, so getting into the city the day before and back is a heck of a trip if i'm doing it all again the next day. But I'll certainly see you around.
Pete, have you changed your number since last year? I've still got it if you haven't.

Well, I suppose I should try and get some kip, since I have to be up at the crack of dawn to start my journey to London tomorrow.
Hope to see you at Shepherd's Bush station, Pete. I'll text you or something when I reach King's Cross.

It's about this point I realise I was being a bit of a boring git in this thread earlier, probably really would have enjoyed going and most likely would have gone had I got the money and time off work. Ah well. There's always next year...

Watching a bit of the live stream, seeing as my signal's decent. I see they got Jun Senoue over. That's quite a coup. EDIT: Some crap screens I nabbed. Senoue and some singers, during performance of "Escape From The City". Senoue being ushered off the stage by a bloke in a hat. The crowd opposite, shortly before going off air. (if you can pick anyone out from that, you either have incredible eyesight or are way too conspicuous) There we are.

Summer of Sonic? What a load of old [censored]. Would have liked to stay for Crush 40 but it was just so uncomfortably hot and dull we had to go.
Bigger venue, shorter event, better handling of queues and AIR CONDITIONING plz.
Or hold it in Winter.

I got the pack at the door, since we were some of the first in, but as for freebies and autographs etc, I was feeling far too warm so I kept out of everyone's way myself. I was giving away biscuits and flapjacks after the cosplay contest, they didnt last very long or get very far around the room. Colours was fun I didnt have time to do a lot else because I kept getting collared for photos in my cosplay. An adorable little girl asked me to pose with her and gave me a cute little Eggman bookmark she'd made Also, I got collared by some quite scary lady from the nintendo channel for an interview and pulled out of my place in the colours line. Good thing Thalia and another girl were there to hold it XD

The summer of sonic was simply epic this year. Crush 40 being the highlight, but man, there was so much to do. I don't think anybody went away unhappy.

I didn't go away unhappy. I went away dehydrated and with a damaged knee (the knee was already damaged, it was nothing to do with the convention, but the standing made it worse). We'd have stayed to join people for pizza or stuff, but I felt ill and had to go.
Immediately raided the londis by the tube station for a bottle of water and collapsed on a bench.

I'd say that was an entirely fair reason. We shouldn't have to add "imo" to every post we make.
